The “AI” that the new maintainer bakes into the kernel

Mostly just understanding what was there, what was necessary for my machine at the time and what was optional.

Nah. This isn’t guilt by association

In her decision, the judge said that the plaintiffs may proceed with their lawsuit, which claims social media companies — like Meta, Alphabet, Reddit and 4chan — ”profit from the racist, antisemitic, and violent material displayed on their platforms to maximize user engagement,”

Which despite their denials the actually know: https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/facebook-knew-radicalized-users-rcna3581

Whenever I read or see the media complaining about social media I think of this https://theoatmeal.com/comics/reaching_people

Community groups suffer for the same reasons.

Now I wish I could remember what the nonsense I replaced all of my content with before I deleted my account.

And that’s the thing to expand on my other comment. Kids are who are restricted from access to devices and the internet are at a complete disadvantage to those that aren’t. But it does need to be monitored by parents.

I’ve heard of both sides from my own kids. There are kids who have been totally restricted who have secret accounts on social media and kids who had no restrictions who had social media accounts that were completely public when they were nine.

No.

“I comprehend. I am a living large language model. I am not a corporation…”

Yes and it’s exactly the sort of thing that has happened before and will happen again. In fact it is so likely that you could probably create an CEO AI that starts firing or hiring depending on market conditions and give the bonuses to the workers instead.

It’s not trolling it’s bullying. You need to think beyond this being about “porn”. This is a reputational attack that makes the victim more likely to be further victimised via date rape, stalking, murder. These things already happen based on rumours, deepfakes images/videos will only make it worse. The other problem is that it’s almost impossible to erase once it’s on the internet, so the victim will likely never be free of the trauma or danger as the images/videos resurface.

“given human skin tone”

Now a meme with real world applications. How would livestock wear pants?

Of course they fucking did. Like the tobacco companies knew their products caused cancer. Like the asbestos companies knew their products caused cancer. Like the fossil fuel companies knew their products caused climate change. Like the food companies know their processed products are the cause of the obesity epidemic.

The CEO’s earned their bonuses the share holders earned their dividends and the bean counters and lawyers worked out hiding the truth would cost pennies to the dollars they made in profits in the eventual lawsuits and they’d have already cashed out anyway leaving others to hold the bag.

Yeah, but people who bring these things up act like everyone needs these things to get their day to day work done. Like everyone works in an architect office, industrial design firm or print marketing agency.

In the grand scheme of things the people who NEED to run Photoshop or CAD programs are edge cases.

The real reason people need windows for work is non-technical corporate and government IT departments. Windows management software (eg. Exchange) is too deeply embedded in the organisation and it is too time consuming and expensive to remove.

That’s a terrible joke that deserves the downvotes, because cancer is shit and I only wish the best to anyone who is diagnosed with it, but I laughed.

Remake of Back To The Future with a solar powered DeLorean, it’d still work.

Marty: This sucker’s electrical. But the solar panels were destroyed so we need to replace them to generate the 1.21 gigawatts of electricity I need Doc: 1.21 Gigawatts! 1.21 gigawatts. Great Scott Marty: What the hell is a gigawatt? Doc: How could I have been so careless? Tom, how am I going to generate that kind of power, it can’t be done, it can’t. Marty: Doc, look, all we need is new solar panels. Doc: I’m sure that in 2025, you can pick up solar panels at every Walmart, but in 1955, we’d need more than 86 billion solar cells which would cost more than 2 trillion dollars. Marty, I’m sorry but you’re stuck here Marty: Whoa, whoa, Doc? Stuck here? I can’t be stuck here, I got a life in 2025. I got a folder of white hot memes.
